Non-Fiction Memoir | Non-Fiction Political
Deemed "the avenging angel of American justice" (Chris
Matthews, Hardball), Jeanine Pirro, the famed
Westchester County district attorney, presents hard truths
about a justice system that she believes coddles criminals
at the expense of innocent victims. Taking readers inside
her daily battles on behalf of victims -- from the
adolescent girl forced to assume wifely duties after her
father murdered her stepmother to a hardworking man shot
over a parking place -- District Attorney Pirro delivers a
bold indictment of the criminal justice system and lays bare
the ways in which parents, communities, and the system share
complicity in fostering a dangerous environment for our
citizens. With the blunt courage of a woman who has
spent her entire career working in a male-dominated world,
Pirro demonstrates determination and compassion that will
inspire anyone who has ever been a victim -- or a victim's
loved one. Finally, To Punish and Protect
includes updated appendixes to help you and your loved ones
make smart decisions about safety.
